Strictly Come Dancing couple share their joy as they take the next step in their relationship

Strictly Come Dancing stars Molly Rainford and Tyler West have excitedly shared the news of their first home together. The couple, who initially met while competing in the 2022 series of the BBC show, began dating during the live tour last year.

Their relationship has continued to flourish, and the pair recently revealed their milestone by posting a sweet video on Instagram. The footage featured them in their new apartment, sharing a playful handshake they’d created during their Strictly tour.

West captioned the post, writing: “Well guys, it was only right that we let you into our little home, the next part of our journey starts now.” He also tagged their new home’s Instagram account, which has already garnered over 10,000 followers.

The announcement was met with a wave of congratulatory messages from their Strictly colleagues and famous friends. Professional dancer Neil Jones commented, “This is what life is about,” while Fleur East, former contestant and host of It Takes Two, added, “Wooo!! Congrats, here for the home content.”

Earlier this month, Rainford spoke about the “exciting” next step in their relationship, revealing how the couple had been choosing dining tables and sofas as they planned their shared space.

Reflecting on their romance, Rainford previously told Fabulous magazine that their connection grew stronger towards the end of the Strictly tour, where they spent a lot of time together. She shared, “We were just doing everything together, and it just progressed from there really.”
